How do I relink my Apple Watch to Apple ID?

My old watch is no longer connected to my Apple account so I can’t take it back to factory settings. It still has my content on and I have the passcode. How can I add it back to my Apple account as I deleted it prior to resetting the watch

Cannot delete old Apple Watch 6 from my account I got a new watch and want to trade the old one in (I've already set that up with Apple). I have erased the watch contents and shut off "Find My" - and when I turn the watch on, my phone asks to pair it, and the watch says to move closer to the iPhone. I thought that was enough to get it out of my account. But my when I log into my icloud account, it shows "unable to be removed from account" - It does NOT show up in Find My and it does not show up in the Apple Watch app on my phone. Can I send this back to Apple now, or do I have to do something else with the watch to get it OUT of my account? Thank you!

You can erase the Apple Watch without the paired iPhone, have a look at the related article:
